Following the announcement of the Cascadia Plan by Sylvania's Director of the Interior, Bob Lemat, the governmental budget office released a statement highlighting capital outlay for the Republic share. The report shows Cascadia's share amounting to only five percent of the total cost, but will pay nearly ten percent as part of a deal for a Scarlett class aircraft carrier scheduled to be laid down in early 1954. The project seeks to create a major north-south route running largely parallel to the Implarian Ocean and connecting many of the Republic's major cities. The highway's northern terminus is the Sylvania-Cascadia border and it's southern terminus is the West March-Cascadia border. Upon crossing the Sylvanian border at its northern terminus, it continues as part of the Parkway Project. The GBO also announced a new 4 cent per gallon tax on gasoline to fund the project.
